D-Street Newsmakers: GMR Airports, BSE, HAL among 10 stocks that took centre stage on Monday

Domestic equity benchmarks fell on Monday in the first full session of Samvat 2080, giving up nearly all of the gains registered in a special, one-hour-long 'muhurat' trading session on the occasion of Diwali the previous day. Losses in financial, IT and FMCG shares pulled the indices lower, though gains in select auto and metal counters limited the downside.

The Sensex lost  325.6 points, or 0.5 per cent, to end at 64,933.9, and the broader Nifty gauge settled at 19,443.6, down 82 points, or 0.4 per cent, from its previous close.

Globally, investors have turned cautious ahead of a key US inflation reading this week that may offer more clarity on the course of benchmark interest rates in the world's largest economy.

Here are the 10 stocks that remained in focus on Dalal Street during the November 13 session:

• BHEL: The stock of the heavy electrical equipment company ended 6 per cent higher at Rs 136.55 even as the company reported weak Q2 numbers.
